Thaddeus was born April 22, 2020, in Amarillo, Texas, to Edmundo and Jessica (Martinez) Garcia. Thaddeus loved to play outside, jumping in the autumn leaves, and having fun amusing himself with sticks, dancing and playing with his guitar. He loved animals, especially dogs, cats, and birds. Thaddeus would entertain himself on the I-Pad and playing with Nana's earrings. He also enjoyed watching the Dallas Cowboys with his daddy, momma, and grandpa. He loved attending church with both, his daddy and mommy, and praising God.  Thaddeus had a beautiful, infectious smile and was always ready to meet new people, never meeting a stranger, always being inquisitive; to have known him was to have loved him. Thaddeus was such a happy baby; he was the love of his family's life. He was a mama's boy; but looked just like his daddy. Thaddeus was so loved by so many and will be dearly missed.
